There is a parking lot camera that shows the shooting.

He clearly turns to point the taser at the officer while he's running and maybe even fired it, which sadly cost him his life.

You can sit here and play Monday morning quarterback all you want and say it wasn't a lethal threat but all of this goes by in the blink of an eye when you're involved. This man was drunk, had already not only fought officers but wrestled a weapon away from them, then turned to aim that weapon at them while fleeing.

I agree that it's sad this man had to die over a god damn dui, but there's no gross misconduct here. It's a tragic series of events that shouldnt have escalated to the point that it did.
